The image depicts a woman with long dark hair in a traditional Japanese kimono. The kimono is peach-colored with blue and white circular patterns and has a blue interior lining visible at the sides and back. The woman holds a fan in her left hand and uses her right hand to comb through her hair. She stands on a blue floor in front of a low table with a miniature landscape in a shallow rectangular dish on it. Behind her, an open book displays Japanese text and an illustration of another person; the book is attached to the wall. The wall behind the woman is beige with darker edges. Japanese text appears on the left and right sides of the image. The woman's kimono has a train that spreads out behind her on the floor.
